Unhappy Lost header bolt leaving an exhaust leak/what effect will it have on car performance?

I have a miss in my 96 LE2 WS6 and pulled plugs and such and found a missing header bolt and a decent exhaust leak at the header. Question is I miss shifted and I have a miss in the motor all the plugs looked good? Was this a coinsidence or is that my problem?
Thank You

Could be your miss. Your AF ratio can be out of whack if the O2 isnt getting the right readings because of it. Also, you loose the scavenging effect. So it COULD make it drive different. Replace it, and see what happens.
